Clarify your stance on illegal mining now – Ghana Coalition against galamsey to National House of Chiefs

The Ghana Coalition Against Galamsey has urged the National House of Chiefs to clarify its stance on illegal mining, criticizing its rejection of a complete mining ban.

The coalition emphasized that traditional leaders play a crucial role in combating "galamsey" and safeguarding Ghana's environment.

They called for the Chiefs' leadership in promoting sustainable practices, warning that their silence and some involvement in illegal mining have worsened environmental degradation.

The coalition believes a united front from the Chiefs could inspire communities to follow environmental laws and ensure responsible mining practices.
